We are drilling wheat.
Did a little bit of wheat into baled oat stubble with the Erth Agriseeder in the Autumn, mid October. Deliberately chose a nice sandy loam field. Looking decent a few days ago, had polysulphate then 50kg N about 10 days ago. Might try a few more acres this year. Something satisfying about the simplicity of it.

Strip tilled french beans at 4 weeks old in a field we struggle to get emergence with conventional tillage and broccoli at 30 days.

Grown about 2 inches since yesterday
How many times would those fields have been irrigated?
They really do look a picture, and so even.

We are on about once a week irrigation at present as it is very dry and hot but the beans have had about three inches and the broccoli four. It’s probably a bit much as the straw mulch is retaining the moisture quite nicely.How many times would those fields have been irrigated?

Interesting brackets for the small seeds/slug pellets splash outlets. Are they factory fitted?
I made some splash outlets on a box section mounted off the main frame to add splash plates to my GD, but the whole design of the splash plates needs a bit of improving, if only to get rid of a lot of sharp edges.
Could you take a closer picture of them please.
They're the same brackets they fitted the avadex applicator onto my 3m with.
Only issue I have is the axle bolt isn't really long enough now, I need to source some 3/4 of an inch longer.
Factory fitted. Seem the same as the ones I had on a Mzuri drill and straw rake. Will post a photo, but might not be for a day or so as I’m away tomorrow.

Maize going in today. Where there was cover crop behind barley, the soil texture is lovely, not so good on cover crop after maize as much later drilled, really cobbly where we have got the land back from lease to a strawberry grower.

Strip till maize here. This is the second year with the Grange machine. 60kgs N/ha is going into the strips. Will be back in a couple of days with the drill. A two pass system makes a lovely seedbed. 500mm centres with the whole profile being lifted
